The Graphic Novel Collection is comprised of three types: Illustrated Literature for young readers, Illustrated Novels (Sci-Fi and Adventure), and Comic Books. A Graphic Novel is a narrative work in which the story is conveyed to the reader using sequential art in either an experimental design or in a traditional comics format. The term is employed in a broad manner, encompassing non-fiction works and thematically-linked short stories, as well as fictional stories across a number of genres.
